I use Exaile. It has queue(s) that you add tracks to, and the library search is outstanding. I have some albums with various artists, and Exaile can group the library by the album artist.

I used to have the files on my NAS, and “syncing” them via smb. Then I reinstalled my NAS, and for some reason decided to not install smb. I was tinkering with the idea of doing a small http server/client thing instead. But to be frank, my library never changes any longer. I just copy it from the NAS once, and that’s it.

I used a player called Listen back in the days. I loved that one so much.

I did! I feel proud of myself. Thank you for asking

This is me, right this moment. About to put the phone away. Any moment now. I promise.

First time hearing about Briar. So it’s like Signal but can also be used via Bluetooth if close enough?

TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I miss old Opera. I want it back

I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

Thank you for the link!

My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!

I do use EWW from time to time

There’s also LiteIDE

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

It brings me joy that a bunch of my pixels is me trying to create a border between the flags, and someone else going “oh no, you don’t”. I had to give up, of course. Had a great time

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it’s a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers

Two things pop up

• I once left an alert() asking “what the fuck?”. That was mostly laughed upon, so no worry.
• I accidentally dropped the production database and replaced it by the staging one. That was not laughed upon.

This state-o-fart user-experience will transport you to the future of user experiences

I admit. This cracked me up.

I really enjoy Mojeek. It gives you results you would not get anywhere else. I see high value in that

Been using Qwant for maybe a year or so. Recently found Swisscows too. I am not sure if Qwant uses their own index. I remember that they said that they were to create their own index, but the results looks suspiciously similar to Bing. Swisscows for sure runs their own index, and I find the results to be rather good
